I have Quick n Brite paste. Landlord asked me to clean up before I moved out, but my stuff was already gone at that time, and this was the only cleaner-related thing they had in the hardware store around the corner.

I've never tried to use it on any of the stuff they show on TV so I don't know if it really works. It certainly stinks a lot though. Not sure if the landlord was happy, just put the keys in his letterbox and left. It was a lot cleaner when I left than it was when I moved in anyway...

I haven't bought any from the actual TV commercials. I don't know what I'd do with all the free extras (you know, after you pay shipping and handling on each individual piece).

But, we DO have a few "as seen on TV" things that we use on a regular basis.

- Foreman grill. Thing has been my go-to-grill for when I want a quick slab of mammal flesh done in a few minutes. Works like a charm.
- Magic bullet. Got the complete set on Ebay for $20 some...6 years go, or so. It's been fantastic. Not as good as those Blend-tec monstrosities (the ones that can grind down a baseball bat and an iPad), but it's made countless smoothies, shakes, sauces, creams, etc and rather efficiently.
- Pot n' Putt. Bought it for the maker-of-my-sandwiches' father. He got a kick out of it, and later gave it to our 5 year old. Now, the putter has become his all-purpose imagination tool. It's a sword, it's a gun, it's a robot arm, it's Mjolnir...
- Oxyclean. It's actually a decent little cleaner.
- Ron Popeil food dehydrator. I wish we still had ours. Got broken during a move. But, we used the hell out of that thing.

I remember one item that seemed particularly attractive. The ad had Dick Butkus on the beach with some sort of barbecue grill. Does anyone remember that? I don't recall why I wanted one, but if I lived closer to a beach, I would have bought it.

1. GLH spray-on hair. "[A]dd in a bout of rain or sweat and you might end up looking like an angry Willy Wonka melted a chocolate bar on your head."

A friend of mine was born in the Philippines. Once while on a visit to his hometown he attended a wedding. Before he arrived, he applied some of the spray-on hair to cover a bald spot. He said it was a huge mistake because sitting there in the Philippines heat, the stuff began to melt and run all over his white dress shirt. I'm not sure I would have shared that story had it been me.

6. Citikitty. This one looks interesting. I was at a party at a friend's home once and went to use the loo. I had to wait because it was occupied at the time by a feline member of his family.

9. Uro Club. For those times when "you're on the green and there aren't any bathrooms nearby." Ever heard of trees? Sheesh!
